That should work, but you may have the unintended consequence of causing your fridge to run hotter. The metal fridge body does a pretty decent job of radiating heat, so by insulating that, you may cause your fridge to have to work very hard.
I would let the fridge run for 6-8 hours, and then place your hand on various parts of the fridge body to see how hot it gets.
Could you place the insulation on the interior of the cabinet instead, where it's out of sight?
